Get rid of it and go to a shop and get it tuned.

Honestly bama tunes aren't bad. But you're sacrificing power and no email tune is gonna be as good as a dyno tune

What's the average cost for a tune from one of the local options? I've been debating on bama or custom.

$300-$400 for the initial tune, then it's typically shop dyno rate for retunes ($75-$90/hr)

Yeah Frank, nothing "wrong" with a BAMA but, they are pre-ordered tunes. I would think however, that they should all be the same since the cars are coming off an assembly line and all the factory tunes are the same.

Nothing wrong with a bama tune. I thought mine was the shit until I got a dyno tune.
